Government of Nepal opened Kanchanjung
Region to trekkers in 1988. Though people had trekked
in the area in connection with mountaineering. Kanchanjunga
is situated on the border of Nepal and India, state
of Sikkim. To entire circuit of mountain politically
is not possible. The next best alternative is to visit
both Base Camp North Pangpema (5100m.) and south Yalung
(4800m.) from Nepal. You require being well equipped
for a high pass crossing and having a minimum of four
week to spare. It is not so easy to cross pass either
Lapsang La or Mirgin La. Bad weather and snow are
often to blame, but more often it is sim;lu lack of
time to get startint point of Kanchanjung. Either
you have to fly Suketar or drive from Kathmandu to
Hille Basantapur (552kms.), other option you can drive
from Kahtmandu to Taplayjung via Ilam, but it is long
journey. On the route, elsewhere, lodges are not.
There is some in the manor village at the lowland
that are primitive styled. You can trek either to
the North or South Kanchnjunga Base Camp but takes
luck, determination and allot of time to visit both
side of the peak. Both side of upper land is particularly
remote. Visit of this trek is tremendously wilderness.
If you are having short time, you can fly to Suketar
from Biratnagar and fly from Suketar.
